WiSe 22/23: The Alevis of Dersim: Religion, History, Politics
Ahmet Kerim Gültekin
Comments
This seminar focuses on the Alevis of the Dersim region (today Tunceli) of Turkey. Dersim is the only province of Turkey with an Alevi majority population. As Kirmancki (Zaza) and Kurmanci (Kurdish) speakers, the Dersim Alevis were since the beginning of the republic positioned not only as religious but also as ethnic other of the Sunni Turkish majority population of Turkey. The seminar will employ historical, arithropological, and sociological
perspectives to engage with the modern history of Dersim. The focus will be on the specificities of Alevi practices, and recent transformations of Alevi faith in the context of broader national and transnational (especially in Germany-Berlin) developments. close
